Improving Matte Lipstick Texture

To address the issue of matte lipstick applying unevenly and flaking, you can consider adding a matte silicone gel to your formula. This type of ingredient is designed to improve the texture and spreadability of matte products, helping them glide on smoothly and fill in lip lines, resulting in a more even finish and reduced flakiness.

An example of a suitable ingredient is Silicone Gel (High Matte, Dimethicone Base).

Suggested Usage Rate:
A good starting point for incorporating a matte silicone gel is typically between 1% to 10% of your total formula. You can adjust the percentage based on the desired texture and performance, but start with a lower concentration and increase gradually as needed.

Adding this ingredient should help create a smoother, more uniform application and minimize the flaky appearance of your matte lipstick.
